In an emergency DIAL 9-1-1

The Menominee Fire Department was formed in 1871, shortly after the great Chicago and Peshtigo fires, for the sole purpose of saving lives and property from the dangers of fire. Today, while still responding to fires, the Department has expanded to include a wider range of services that goes much deeper than fire suppression. The Menominee Fire Department is trained in and provides emergency services in the following areas of expertise: water and ice rescue, trench collapse, hazardous material releases, confined space rescue, industrial accidents, motor vehicle accident extrication, carbon monoxide incidents and more.

The Fire Department is administered by Fire Chief Mark Petersen.

The Fire Department is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by 12 full time fire fighters. Each fire fighter is assigned to one of three crews with 4 firefighters on each crew. Each crew works a 24 hour shift providing a 24 hour on and 48 hour off rotation.

On average the Fire Department responds to 390 calls each year.

The Menominee Fire Department has automatic aid agreements with the neighboring city of Marinette and the townships of Menominee and Ingallston. The department responds automatically to emergencies in those communities.
